Hello all, I'm awaiting the arrival of my Daytona this coming Tuesday, I've been searching for Rolex magazine issue 1 about the Daytona but to no avail, anyone interested in a trade the Wynn provided me with issue 4 which is about the sky dweller?

LVSubmariner · 11 January 2016, 02:51 AM

Or any ideas on places that have them in store or on websites for sale? Only thing I can find online is eBay in the UK for $100 so that's dumb

Maybe that is the reason you didn't have it?

I can list a million things that are free and limited supply and high demand increases the value. Econ 1 on 1.

Best of luck finding one!

PS. I have one, I enjoy it and wouldn't sell it to you even for $100, even if you think that is dumb DS

The classifieds here and eBay are full of old Rolex stuff that was once free and is now selling for significant sums. Brochures, booklets, all kinds of things...people would pay for paper cups if they had a genuine Rolex logo on them.

If I may ask politely, what would be a reasonable price for you? :)

Cheers!

Yikes... The guy was just asking about something. I wouldn't wanna pay $100 for a free magazine either.

Myself would not pay either for anything that was originally free,trouble in today's modern Rolex world anything Rolex some just see it as just ££££$$$$ its called greed.It was the same when the in-house Daytona was introduced in 2000 most went to the black/grey market and sold for crazy prices for those willing to pay.And those who wanted to own a Daytona could not get one at retail for love or money.You could say the same about the 16610LV those who wanted to change the green insert to black and those with a normal 16610 wanting to change to green.At one time the insert was the same price as the black,but now the green insert is $300.And green inserts are Rolex exchange only, afraid today the modern age Rolex owner in many ways have made a rod for there own back.I remember quite a few years back a few members wanted a Rolex anchor at the time I had 4. So I gave away 3 to TRF members who wanted one and remember quite well two of those members did not even say thank you after posting to America at my expense,I did not want anything back but a thank you would have been welcomed but that's today modern world for you.

One for sale in England, currently at £27 bid

Rolex57 · 11 January 2016, 05:02 AM

I recall back in 2010, I bought a car that was a retro new model. The dealership brochures were difficult if not, impossible to get. I made an agreement with the dealer that upon buying the car, they'd get me that brochure. I ended up getting 2 copies. I tried selling one of them on one if the associated forusm and basically got my head chewed off for doing so.

I'm surprised selling a Rolex Magazine which in my opinion is a dealership brochure and is given out for free at an AD isn't getting the same kind of negative feedback here.

Jocke · 11 January 2016, 05:44 AM

I know examples of people who received the Rolex things from forum friends for free, which they then sold for premium.

So many of the generous people stop giving things away.

Limited Edition, Collector's Item, Originally FREE, Out of Circulation = If you didn't get one of the limited release units be prepared to pay if you want one.

Supply / Demand...

adawil2002 · 11 January 2016, 06:08 AM

My issue #1 cost me over $6K! It came free with the watch I bought after flipping an unused DJ. $100 is a deal!

Considering my lack of posts, I should stay out of this! But I've always thought Econ 101 should be a High School requirement. Then people would understand why things cost what they do, and that high prices don't "cause" inflation. Not saying that you can't think it's stupid to pay for something that is free, more power to you

- just saying there are good reasons for it, called the Laws of Supply and Demand and it is what it is.

Full disclosure - Degree in Economics.

Didn't mean any disrespect at all. Since, as you say, you didn't read my whole post before commenting, I could see how it might have been misleading. In fact, I said that not agreeing with the fact that something that was once free costing something later is perfectly fine. It was a reply to Leon's post, and I was just making a comment on basic economics. And my full disclosure comment was meant to show that I would indeed be a bit bias.

Again, my apologies, I should have done a much better job with my wording

.
I am very glad that you were able to get it worked out and hope we are cool

I should have read the whole comment before my response and that's my bad on my part. I apologize, I was a little tired of getting mostly a$$ hat answers from most people. Thank you for your comment
